WHOSE HOUSE WITH AMANDA KELLER – ROB CARLTON

Rob Carlton has been a professional actor since he was 14 years old. A recognised face in Australia for both comedy and drama, his credits span TV, film and theatre.

In February 2006 Rob won Tropfest with Carmichael and Shane, which he wrote, starred in, co-directed and co- produced. He also won best actor that year. Rob’s television production company, Shadowfax TV, produced 2 series of the award-winning comedy, Chandon Pictures, which now plays in over 15 territories around the world, including the USA and UK and was nominated for multiple Logie and AFI awards. As the writer of the series, it also won him an AWGIE award.

His most recent role saw him play media mogul Kerry Packer for a second time in the mini series Paper Giants: Magazine Wars. A role that first time around earned him a Silver Logie for Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo. He has also had a support lead in the ABC drama Mabo, a support in PJ Hogan’s film Mental starring Toni Collette and Anthony Lapaglia and the lead bad guy in the family action Conspiracy 365.

While readily recognisable as a ‘likeable’ guy in many comedies, as a younger actor Rob often played the bad guy in Australian Drama. Since getting his head flushed down a toilet in The Year My Voice Broke Rob’s been … Thrown out of Summer Bay by Alf. Kicked off E’Street by the Reverend Bob.

Shot dead as he stalked Water Rats’ Frank Holloway. Had his heart removed by the side of the road on All Saints. Been trampled on by horses and women in Mcleod’s Daughters. Had his gender swapped in the feature film Strange Bedfellows. Blew himself into a thousand pieces on Blue Heelers. And killed a granny on Thank God You’re Here. Rob hopes to die on all good Australian dramas.
